THE POULTRY EXHIBIT
Was much larger and superior to that
OF any previous exhibition. Having
an expert judge insured correct rul-
ing as to fine points and pure breeding;
as advantage to the exhibitor as well
as the Society, as it prevents filling up
the classes with inferior birds, having
no points of merit. The Society was
fortunate i'll securing the services OF
Mr.. Dan White, of New London, who
ranks as one of the most expert judges
in tfe country. Mr.. White pronounc-
ed this one of the finest exhibits he
has ever scored-a high commend,
considering he has been judge at the
State Fair and many leading poultry
exhibits. Under the direction of Supt.
Harry Smith, everything was COM
plete as to arrangement of classes and
care and display of birds, and to him
aud his gentlemanly assistants our re-
porter is under obligations for many
favors, and assistance in obtaining the
following necessarily incomplete list
